Hema Malini

I shared a special bond with Sridevi - while our love for acting bound us, it was our role as mothers that brought us together. It was 2002; her husband Boney Kapoor was launching my daughter Esha in Bollywood. While I was a nervous mother, anxious to see my daughter set foot in Bollywood, Sridevi was an expectant mother, pregnant with her second daughter Khushi. Understanding my anxiety about Esha's debut, she would often drop in on the set to see my little girl. It was during this time that we got really close.
